Death never looked so hot

What a pathetic add campaign.
The devs originally said the nudity was to stay "true to the story".
Instead in every turn it's just a way to cheapen the game, in attempts to draw teenage boys..
Come on funcom. Your catch to lure people in is promise of hot girls? What a lame angle to take.
Good luck and good bye.

bt u dun understend lol this gaem is 4 mashure peopel
Sadly I must agree!
The "Death never looked so Hot" ad is bloody awful & I resent seeing it every time my homepage opens up.
The old catch-phrase "You never forget your first beheading" was much more original & didn't rely on sexist cliches, this new ad just makes Funcom look desperate.
If you can't "Have your cake & eat it too", then how can "The proof of the pudding be in the eating"?
Take the Hecatomb? TCG What Is Your Doom? quiz.
Lol, I hope you were aiming for sarcasm

Nope, I quite liked the original catch-phrase. It was so blatently stupid it was actually funny.

We have BEWBIES!
Your Mom will never find out!
Sue Funcom for sexism!

Sadly I do not live in a country where sueing companies for millions of dollars actually works but you can.

Last week FC closed every negative thread about AoC. Now they leave them most open. Why?
I think a large number of people have left, so now FC must keep everyone happy. Yes even the so called "troll".
People leave, thats why they make something like this "Death never looked so hot"... hope they add "when you swing your swords in slowmotion". (very nice patch FC... very nice...idi!)
I have no idea what FC are doing right now with the game. But I have a feeling that if we had a camera over the office... then we would see chickens without heads runing around trying to "fix" the game. And can chickens without heads do that? Noooope...
They fucked it up at start and it's very hard to fix something like that.
Very stupid by whoever at FC and very sad.
Ehh, I dunno, I think a bunch of headless chickens flailing around could type up better coding using the unending geyser of blood spewing forth from their new neckhole lol.
And as to the ad, hell its better than the truth, but! Here's an ad to consider.
"Age of Conan, watch us F**k the game up harder than the women of the brothels!"
I haven't noticed any change in the level of moderation. Of course I wasn't moderating for a few days (been sick with the flu) so I guess that could be why more negative threads have been open lately.
Contrary to popular belief there is no conspiracy against people who do not like the game. There are forum rules and those forum rules are how we moderate the Forums. If people are unhappy with the moderation then they should review the rules and send a private message to Famine.
In almost every case (there are some mistakes of course even the mods are human) the moderation was properly handled. In most cases the person could of saved themselves moderation by using the "Search" function.
I think the lack of use of the search button and people's feeling that it is necessary to repost moderated material are the two largest things I see moderation for. Even more then Flaming.

I could give a rats ass about their forums. The game is a bug filled mess. Every patch has made things worse so far. It actually ran better the first week then it does now.
The ad campaign is my point of the crowd AOC is trying to pull in.
All the talk of being a mature game trying to make a game for adults is a total lie. Just another to stack on the many lies Failcom has already racked up.
Shame because AOC has a potentially fun combat system.
This game totaly insults the many good works of the original author.
and yea it's pretty damn demeaning to women, which has nothing to do with the original theme of the Conan books.

Agreed. I kind of kept the opinion to myself but i think its a terrible campaign. Kind of reinforces those that say they used boobies to draw people in and then took them out as they caved in.
The game doesn't offer anything, but great graphics. Their slogan shows just how shallow the gameplay is. Perfect slogan, imo.
They reduced the size of the breasts just recently.
Lets sue funcon for false advertisement, again.
As if the 100s of posts about people jumping ship over how bad this game is wasn't enough...
"Death never looked so hot" wow, that's pretty bad. Maybe they wanted to do something with all the crappy coders, programmers, and designers they dumped them in the advertising department.
"This game never looked more unattractive" - Fixed
Death never looked so bugged !
Hmm alogan for AoC?
"Death never looked so...near"
Yeah, death never looked so good, because you'll want to kill yourself irl for wasting 50 bucks on this game.
If this ad campaign is the bust...sorry I mean best that they can muster up, then I'm glad I steered well clear.
Oh, and to be fair it does sound like utter bantha fodder from reading about it on just about any forum.

Sorry,
Proud FORMER Master CH...
my toon was untimely converted into something more Star Warsy
I find it ironic that a launched game is using concept art thats a few years old to advertise, it is rather telling, guess the 70+ levels of wearing the same 'brown smock' in game aren't exactly an image that sells.
An to those waiting or thinking about picking a copy of AoC, Caveat Emptor !!
Death never looked so hot? WTF man. It's not like they are pushing the envelope on death or hotness.
You want a game where death looks HOT? Try heavenly sword.
Don't try the game where priestesses of Derketo wear clothes.
